Critics Consensus

Somewhat staid yet ultimately rather charming, Tommy's Honour opens a well-acted window into professional golf's formative years.

If you're not mad about plaid shorts, Tommy's Honour is unlikely to grab your attention, at first. But if you give it chance, there's an affable movie about an inspiring young pioneer.

Peter Mullan is always an actor worth watching, even if you can't always comprehend what he's saying thanks to that thick Scots accent.

2/5

Golf buffs might appreciate its recreation of the sport in the late 19th century, but to love the film unreservedly, you'll need an appetite for the cinematic equivalent of treacle-topped porridge.

Yes, this film is very much more for avid fans of golf and those who adore its long and varied history, but Tommy's Honour certainly has enough heart in it to engage with those who have little time for golf.

Tommy's Honour is that rare sports film that fully captures the passion and emotional connection that some players have to their chosen pursuit.

As a golfer, I enjoyed the movie. Slow, not much action, good acting...but it IS the story of Young and Old Tom Morris....that is a great story!

This is an interesting story, with interesting characters and it makes for a good period drama. The family aspect particularly interested me. Suffice to say, if your interested in the history of golf esp. golf in Scotland and the UK, then I'd recommend it.

I enjoyed this true story about Tommy Morris senior & junior in Scotland and the mark that they left on the game as innovators of the sport plus the legacy that they left to this day.
